Is wisdom tooth removal necessary for me? (4 premolars removed already) (photos)

Asked By:Nurturing800701 in Denver, Colorado

I had braces at 11 when they removed 4 teeth. It relapsed and I went for a new treatment in March 2020. After almost 2 years of having braces now, my tmj hurts like hell. I can barely open open my mouth and it pulls all the time. Now I found a neuromuscular(NM) dentist. They want to TENS me and then move to NM braces with expander. But they insist on wisdom tooth removal and all my doctors have said that my wisdom teeth aren't impacted so I don't understand if that's necessary. I am 19 now.
